The University of Tuebingen is working to boost its international profile, raise its competitiveness and enhance its international visibility. Internationalization in research is one of the key pillars of the Excellence Strategy. In addition to the Division V – International Office, the University has set up a unit for International Research Cooperation tasked with strengthening Tübingen’s international research network at an institutional level, providing strategic support to researchers’ international collaborations, and developing as well as implementing policies to achieve the above goals.
International researchers at all career stages can receive funding through the Excellence Strategy. Since institutional research collaborations with selected partners can only grow on the basis of individual collaborations between researchers, funding formats have been developed to specifically support these collaborations. These funding opportunities have enabled new, successful collaborations with international scientists to emerge.
